When the media phone is connected to a network, you can set the network type and the access mode based on your requirement.

The network settings are associated with the authentication of the media phone. Therefore, do not change the settings if not required. Otherwise, you may not be able to use the services properly.

The media phone supports the following network types:

zWhen you use the network cable to access a broadband network, select Ethernet.

zWhen you use Wi-Fi to access a broadband network, select Wi-Fi.

The Wi-Fi type is classified into two modes:

zBasic mode: The access point is selected by searching in the wireless network.

zPoint-to-point mode: The access point is selected by entering the SSID.

If you want to set a WEP key for the access point, you need to tap Advanced, and then Set WEP Key, to set the WEP key. The WEP key must be same as the parameters of the access point, or you will fail to access the Wi-Fi.

Each network type supports the following three access modes:

zStatic IP: In this mode, set a fixed IP address for the media phone based on the IP address of the access gateway. As the gateway support the routing function, no dial-up connection is required for network access.
